A3 Test drive
 
Hello All.
This is the first time I have posted here, and I do so disapointed.
I recently went for a test drive in a new A3, 2 litre TDI, DSG (only 443
miles on the clock).
We were 3 up, and found that the ride very poor. On the straight on a
motorway standard road it was fine but on town roads and changing lanes on
the main road the car felt most strange. I find it very difficult to
describe the ride.
It was as if we were in a plane in turbulance. The suspension felt 'loose',
there was a certain amount of wobble or bounce almost as if the car was
slipping slightly while bouncing. The best way I can describe it is, it was
like driving on hard frozen rutted snow. Which I assure you it wasn't.
My wife, who sat in the back to see if the ride was smoothe for passangers
who suffer from travel sickness, said she was glad when the drive was over
as she felt sick.
I am very disapointed as I wanted an Audi.
Have we been very unlucky and tested a bad one or are all A3s like this
(surely not!)

Your opinions please.
Dave
